Things that Mater Competition Update

Pie

The long time leader the Red Bluff Bakery in Kalbarri has finally been been beaten by the Pinnacle Pub who served a delicious Steak and Kidney pie complete with chips, gravy and mushy peas. Just the right amount of Steak and Kidney, in the perfect 2:1 ratio, to balance the crisp on the outside but moist on the inside pastry.

Crafty Pint

Still in the lead by 2 lengths at least is the You’re Dviving IPA fromthe Froth Micro Brewery in Exmouth, despite a great night out at Bargara Brewery where I managed seven different beers (see post on Bundaberg coming soon)

Gread body nice malty upfront taste with citrusy notes and a lovely bitter finish.

ABV 6.2%

IBU 54

Hopheads unite!! You’re Driving IPA is an extremely hop forward ale that packs a punch. If you plan on having more than one, you’ll have to say to your mate…“You’re driving!”  Loaded with Columbus, Chinook, Centennial, Cascade, and Simcoe hops during the brewing process then dry hopped with them all again! This IPA has a huge resinous hop profile where essence of grapefruit and pine cement its roots as a new age India Pale Ale.

Ablution Block

Still the leader by a country mile so far Outback Oasis Caravan Park in Carnarvon, ablutions fit for a hotel room, in fact I have stayed in hotels with much worse ablutions than this. May try to sneak a pic or two if I can manage it without getting arrested or lynched.

I will update regularly. If anybody out there has any suggestions on our route, which is roughly north then east with a bit of south in the middle, please comment below.
